Most of the content is being pulled in from jobvite via an iframe, but the iframe doesn't have sufficient vertical space and is getting cut off (just above the "engineering" jobs, which is particularly awkward here).

Here's the unadorned list (though I'm not sure the "Apply" buttons will work): http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=qG29Vfww&...


I don't mean to troll, but the fact that the URL ends in php looks funny.

I had a burnout once and continued to work for 6 months afterwards to maximize my unvested options.

The options turned out to be worth a lot, by I couldn't enjoy work for 3 years, so I am not sure continuing to work was a good decision.

In my case the reason for a burnout was personal (relations with my boss) and I suspect that the reason is always personal.

I would distill it to 2 advices: ask yourself the 5 whys about the burnout and don't continue working in this state.


I wish your comment was higher on the page. I would say you made the right choice to keep working for that extra 6 months post-burnout, because post-burnout takes minimally 2 years to recover from if you're going to recover at all. For you it took 3, I would bet those extra 6 months factored in, but I'm assuming you didn't have to worry about finances so much during those three years so it may have been a good tradeoff.

I second the advice to uncover the causes that are pushing toward burnout, because if they are left to fester then burnout becomes inevitable and post-burnout recovery takes even longer. Exercising more isn't going to fix it. A week vacation isn't going to fix it, a month vacation isn't going to fix it, because when the vacation is over nothing will have changed. The best a vacation can do is delay.


Hi, There is this little article in Inc. about the benefits of meeting people in person: http://www.inc.com/rene-siegel/five-reasons-you-need-to-meet... The author, Rene Siegel, is the owner of http://www.htconnect.com, which looks relevant for your SO skills. In the end of the article she invites the readers to a kind of a meetup in Faz Restaurant lounge in Pleasanton - it may be worth your SO time.

Good luck!


I always use vim and my setup won't allow non-cli editor.

I will typically open multiple ssh sessions to a remote machine and edit/test the code there from the different sessions.

As the saying goes, "I do it in production" ;)


In your place I would read the Google Platforms Rant (It IS about Amazon;) It explains what do they get right (SOA) https://plus.google.com/112678702228711889851/posts/eVeouesv...


I think it's better to name the company differently from the product, but using the same idea. For instance: my startup is called SimplCloud and it is about creating products for DevOps. The first product is called SimplDS (for Deplyment Service) and I can continue with this scheme.
